It " might " have been alittle hard but the landing gear should have held up to that . Ive bounced aircraft ALOT harder than that unfortunately , and never had a failure, knock on wood . It looks like he found a hole or a dip and it ripped of the right gear . It doesn't matter when you cut the power back . If anything he left power on a bit too long but that is just nit picking . It should have held up.
The problem with ultralight safety is not about the plane, but the pilot's insitence that they fly with no training. i'm not for regulating anybody, but the fact is, as long as every redneck is able to purchase an aerial vehicle and go flying, accident rates will remain high (I'm not trying to impugn the pilot in this video).
typical bitch, ....I knew that would happen...I knew it. Always gotta be the center of attention and a (know nothing, know it all) even when a man crashes a an ultralight.
@bahnkla4 wow! , Id like to have one of those " stalls at 15 mph " ultralights ! Even my Quicksilver stalls at 25 ish and it is alot lighter than his kolb is .
Come on guys. He clearly landed in the rough with a very light tail dragger. Of course he's going to flip. Now if he had that tail down before he hit the rough, maybe he would have been alright. I do agree to the lack of skill. From the sound of his wife/girlfriend's reaction, I would say first time landing?
Plenty of ultralite manufacturers don't take the landing gear design seriously.Often too weak or not enough travel.After all,they are building flying machines ,not off road vehicles.This is the result.
If you have no skill or judement, you will screw up your landings and will probably kill yourself. Same goes for a Car, motorcycles, or any vehicle. Even airliners have to be landed correctly, if they were landed with this poor a skill, hundreds of passengers would die every day. Bottom line, its up to the PILOT, its not the airplanes fault you cant fly it. Probably a good thing you did not continue, you obviously dont have what it takes and made a good choice to stay on the ground.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
flying is freaken scary no matter what you fly. I had no problems with liftoffs or actual flight but I bounced on landings so badly that my dad eventually had to change his mind about paying for flight school. "a hobby isnt worth dying for, son".
what-s the fuss all about? She expresses her initial fears in her own way. either this rudder had reached breaking point due to fatigue or there was a hole in the runway. Landing was a little rough ( that may well cause the fatigue)
The pilot failed to flair and his airspeed was too slow as he has a high angle of attack after he pulls the power something thatr needs to be countered in a pusher right?
At the very end, you can see the pilot climb out on his own legs. So she says she knew that would happen? She must've dug that hole that he landed in?
She must be one of those people who think airplanes will kill you no matter what you do. I am here to tell HER that she isn't God! she don't know the difference between her ass and a hole in the wall! lol!
Yes the landing was a bit hard,but the way it looked to me,the landing gear wasn't up to the task.I fly a dragonfly,and if you smack it in too hard all you do is bend the landing gear legs a bit.
You can tell exactly what happened here if you having any flight time at all in any aircraft. Inexperience was a major factor. The plane was way to hot on final. Sounds like he pulled the throttle right before touchdown. He probably could have avoided the accident still if he had not have touched down solely on the right rear gear first. Too much weight on the gear because of excessive momentum from overspeed on landing.
I concur. It was obvious the minute I saw it. Pretty lousy glide abilities of that thing though. The minute he killed the throttle it just dropped like a rock. He'd have been better off coming in just a hair faster horizontally and sparing all that vertical speed. Eeesh.
Inexperience was doubtless a factor, but he wasn't too hot. On the contrary, he was two slow and started his flare too high. The UltraStar actually has a very good glide as ultralights go, but like all ultralights it has little inertia, so you need to keep the nose down and keep the speed up right down to the gound... which he didn't do.
you aint supposed to land vertically dude, use a trickle of power to 'fly her on'. I fly many types of aircraft and only a few will land ok with zero thrust.Were u qualified i ask myself!
Why is it that whenever a accident occurs, there's some psychic chick that just "kenw" it would happen. Yet their powers of predicting the future are rarely applied before hand.
If we said anything would it MATTER? The we would be the nagging "chick" that didn't let you have fun, or the "chick" that said something and caused it. She had a bad feeling, she was in shock on the video obviously, something only a stupid "chick" would understand.
Donald I'm glad your step dad is OK. When I got my first motorcycle, my mom warned my dad not to get on it. We waved good by to her as she left the driveway, and he promptly jumped on. Ten seconds later he had dropped my bike :).

1st time he flew the plane and he did not tell anyone. my uncle gave him heck(the big guy running) he had never flown anything in his life before(which was not too smart).
Thanks on all the comments every on(except from twitch15 which his name explains it all)
it was my stepdad flying and he is perfectly alright, he got the ultrastar back together bue he did not build it strong enough, the first time he was out the landing gear slowly folded while doing a mid-speed taxi
He touched down on the mains well enough, but his right gear appears to have caught a flaw...perhaps a rut or chuck hole... and collapsed. Hope he's all right.
Considering the speed an attitude i think it was a downdraft. With very light ultra lights, the turbulence from trees can be enough to cause problems.
I own an Ultrastar, though I've only flown it a few times so far. I don't think he was going as fast as it looks, not the angle of attack. It looks like he started his flare way too high (about 3 seconds into the clip), then at around 7 seconds it stalls and drops in... something you can NOT get away with in an Ultrastar. It is, however, a classic mistake made by pilots of general aviation ("standard") aircraft getting in an ultralight the first time.
So, pilot error IMO, but not as bad as most might think. The landing gear on the Ultrastar is a bit of an "achiles heel", as it was built to be very light and has no suspension other than slightly fat tires. Generally not a problem, especially on a grass strip, but an "U/S" needs a lot of care in landing. The Ultrastar is out of production now. It is a really fine aircraft and is the predecessor to a lone line of Kolbs which have long enjoyed one of the best reputations in ultralight aviation.
I've flown one of these (Kolb Ultrastar). Pilot seems to good margin of speed above stall (25-30mph+ on these) , running engine significantly above idle. He's coming in too "hot", cuts throttle abruptly (perhaps sensing overshoot) and seems to not anticipate reduction in lift. He looks to me to be above stall speed the entire time--a stall would proably be a little more apparent.
Don't be too hard on her, although I have to agree she didn't seem too worried. Not sure what went wrong, looks like the right gear collapsed. Doesn't look like pilot error, looked like a good landing, just a weak Ultra-light, which I don't recognize. Hope he was OK...
Assuming the pilot walked away, that's a learning experience! Little expensive if he broke his prop, but definitely a learning experience.
